.. Antique Map of the Danube River and surroundings by Visscher (c.1690)

Description: Antique map titled 'Exactissima Tabula, qua tam Danubii Fluvii Pars Superior'. Very finely detailed map covering the region of northern Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. The course of the Danube is prominently shown from its headwaters in the Alps to its confluence with the Morava River. Source unknown, to be determined.

Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Nicolaes Visscher' after an anonymous artist. Nicolaes Visscher II (1649, Amsterdam – 1702, Amsterdam) was a Dutch engraver, cartographer and publisher. He was the son of Nicolaes Visscher I and the grandson of Claes Janszoon Visscher. After his death, his wife, Elisabeth, continued the family tradition of mapmaking and publishing. The works, engraved plates, were then sold to Peter Schenk, who also reprinted them.
